…Do people really think that a stay at home mom is really on equal footing with a woman who works and takes care of herself? There’s no way those two things are the same. It’s hard for me to believe it’s not just verbally placating these people so they don’t get in trouble with the mommy bloggers.

Having kids and getting married are considered life milestones. We have baby showers and wedding parties as if it’s a huge accomplishment and cause for celebration to be able to get knocked up or find someone to walk down the aisle with. These aren’t accomplishments, they are actually super easy tasks, literally anyone can do them. They are the most common thing, ever, in the history of the world. They are, by definition, average. And here’s the thing, why on earth are we settling for average?

…You will never have the time, energy, freedom or mobility to be exceptional if you have a husband and kids.

John Hawkins's book 101 Things All Young Adults Should Know is filled with lessons that newly minted adults need in order to get the most out of life. Gleaned from a lifetime of trial, error, and writing it down, Hawkins provides advice everyone can benefit from in short, digestible chapters.

I hear women talk about how “hard” it is to raise kids and manage a household all the time. I never hear men talk about this. It’s because women secretly like to talk about how hard managing a household is so they don’t have to explain their lack of real accomplishments. Men don’t care to “manage a household.” They aren’t conditioned to think stupid things like that are “important.”

Left-wing feminism not only holds men in contempt; it holds women who don’t act like men, embrace liberalism and love abortion on demand in contempt. Know why liberal feminists hate incredible role models for women like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann? They hate them exactly because they’re incredible role models who don’t embrace liberal feminism. It’s not enough for a woman to be successful, happy and making a real difference in the world; they must embrace the hateful, extremist ideology of far left-wingers, too.

If a woman wants to work and make a career for herself, great. If she has the option to stay at home while her husband works and take care of her kids, that’s great, too. I think women should do whatever makes them happier, but I’m just one of those mean old conservatives, not a liberal feminist, so what do I know?
